Hello. I'm not a Bandit owner, but I was wondering if someone with a Bandit 1200 (and/or 1250) could give me some measurements from your front axle. I'm attempting to retrofit a 17" SV1000 front wheel onto a V-strom DL1000. I need to do some machining to the axle, and I think a Bandit axle may work if the diameter of the center hollow is not too large. Any assistance would be appreciated! Thanks. I'll post a link below to an image on flickr.com that shows the measurements I'm looking for.
